Ma Hui Zhen, recently discharged from the hospital, was preparing to leave with her husband. She confided her worry about her father-in-law's persistent demands for them to have children. As they exited the hospital, a child, Le Le, accidentally bumped into Ma Hui Zhen, causing her to faint instantly. Her husband immediately rushed her back to the Emergency Department.
Xiao Yan performed an ECG on Ma Hui Zhen, finding no arrhythmia, which ruled out her previous "smart drug" use as the direct cause of her current convulsions. The medical team suspected a cerebral embolism resulting from a blood clot, but the source remained unknown. Bai Shu recalled that Ma Hui Zhen had taken clomiphene citrate several months prior to aid in ovulation for pregnancy.
Xiao Yan hypothesized that an overdose of this drug could increase her risk of endometrial cancer, which might lead to blood clots and a stroke. Xiao Yan arranged a uterine ultrasound, which showed no thickening or fibroids. However, Bai Shu insisted on a diagnostic endometrial dilation and curettage, explaining that an ultrasound might miss minute cancerous tissues. Her husband, seeking reassurance, agreed. The curettage found no abnormalities, ruling out endometrial cancer.
Yet, an ultrasound performed during the procedure revealed a hypoechoic region in her liver and fluid in her abdominal cavity. Xiao Yan ordered an abdominal MRI to investigate this shadow further. Meanwhile, Luo Guang Liang, still recovering, expressed profound concern for Ding Xiao Ying, inquiring about her condition. He learned she was blind and urgently needed a cornea transplant. Unable to visit her, he declined to send a message, deeply affecting Tang Hua and Lin Zhi with his silent devotion.
The abdominal MRI results for Ma Hui Zhen confirmed a liver tumor, but doctors noted that such tumors typically do not cause convulsions, prompting Bai Shu to suspect an additional underlying condition. Later, Tang Hua informed Xiao Yan that Ma Hui Zhen had been secretly taking birth control pills. Xiao Yan confronted Ma Hui Zhen privately, promising confidentiality. Ma Hui Zhen initially denied it.
But Xiao Yan persisted, explaining the potential serious health risks, including hepatocellular adenoma, impacts on the dopamine system causing convulsions, and the possible need for partial liver resection. Ma Hui Zhen finally admitted to taking two different types of birth control pills. She asked for a safer alternative, but Xiao Yan advised her to stop all birth control pills due to their hormonal content.
As Ma Hui Zhen confessed, her husband unexpectedly returned from paying medical fees and overheard the conversation. Furious, he confronted her, believing her illness was linked to the birth control pills. He demanded to speak with her alone. After Xiao Yan and Tang Hua left, Ma Hui Zhen tearfully apologized, revealing her profound fear of having children.
Her father had died from hemophilia, a hereditary disease that only affects boys, and she feared she carried the gene and might pass the suffering onto a son. Her husband, now understanding her deep-seated anxieties, embraced her. He reassured her that they could choose not to have children, despite his own desire for a family. Later, Ma Hui Zhen's father-in-law arrived with homemade food.
He found his son sitting alone and attempted to comfort him, initially expressing hope for a grandchild. However, his son questioned if he would still accept Ma Hui Zhen if her tumor was malignant and she became unable to bear children. The father-in-law's perspective softened. He acknowledged Ma Hui Zhen’s dedication to the family and stated that life was more important than a grandchild. He promised to stop pressuring them to have children, leaving the decision to the couple.
Further tests confirmed Ma Hui Zhen's liver tumor was a benign cyst rupture and bleeding, curable by surgery. Her husband confirmed with Xu Yiran that the cyst was likely caused by the birth control pills and requested that this information be kept from his father, to which Xu Yiran agreed. Tang Hua, noting this, subtly mocked Bai Shu about Xiao Yan's accurate diagnosis, irritating him. Ma Hui Zhen's surgery was successful.
Her father-in-law brought her nourishing Longan and lotus seeds porridge. Her husband gently reminded her not to take birth control pills again. Ma Hui Zhen even offered a bowl of porridge to Ding Xiao Ying, who was recovering nearby. Ding Xiao Ying later learned from Lin Zhi that the police had apprehended the true assailant, and Luo Guang Liang had been a hero injured while protecting her. Overwhelmed with guilt and gratitude, she wished to apologize to him.
However, Luo Guang Liang’s condition rapidly worsened. He experienced severe abdominal pain, and an examination by Xiao Yan and Bai Shu revealed mesenteric hematoma and ascites, leading to a diagnosis of mesenteric artery embolism. A second surgery was performed, but surgeons found widespread bleeding and intestinal necrosis, requiring the removal of the most affected segment. Luo Guang Liang was returned to the Emergency Department, developing sepsis and subsequently multiple organ failure, with a very high mortality rate.
Feeling his life was ending, Luo Guang Liang wished to donate his corneas specifically to Ding Xiao Ying, expressing a desire for them to "see the world together." Bai Shu gently explained the strict regulations against designated organ donations but offered to help him register as a general cornea donor. Luo Guang Liang agreed, trusting Ding Xiao Ying would find another kind donor.
Ding Xiao Ying, unaware of Luo Guang Liang's critical state, began to perceive light and remained optimistic about her recovery. During Luo Guang Liang’s critical period, Xiao Yan, having worked several consecutive night shifts, collapsed from severe exhaustion and hypoglycemia. Bai Shu immediately carried her to a bed, personally administered an intravenous glucose injection, and stayed by her side. When Xiao Yan regained consciousness, Bai Shu, flustered, quickly left the room.
Xiao Yan noticed a cup of coffee on the table and a QR code on the lid, which she scanned. Later, Xu Yiran found Bai Shu outside, playfully teasing him about his evident feelings for Xiao Yan and urging him to eat. Witnessing Bai Shu's hesitation, Xu Yiran urged him to confess his feelings to Xiao Yan directly, citing Luo Guang Liang’s unspoken love for Ding Xiao Ying as a cautionary tale of lifelong regret.
Soon after, Xiao Yan approached Bai Shu and requested a private conversation after their shift. Bai Shu drove her to a secluded spot by the riverside. Xiao Yan directly asked him if he liked her, to which Bai Shu admitted his feelings. Xiao Yan then explained that his affection was affecting her personal life and professional work, and she disliked being the subject of gossip. She apologized for any misunderstanding and clarified that she viewed him only as a colleague.
When Bai Shu asked for her reasons, Xiao Yan stated she had unresolved personal matters that prevented her from accepting anyone. Bai Shu, respecting her privacy, promised not to inquire about her secrets but vowed to wait until she was ready to share them. Xiao Yan then left. Later that night, Xiao Yan called Katherine, her former superior, inquiring about the possibility of returning to work at the Lausanne hospital in Switzerland. Katherine expressed delight at the news and warmly welcomed her back. The next day, Xiao Yan was seen back at work in the Tongshan Emergency Department, appearing recovered.
